New LawsFeeding coyotes is illegal in some communities.
Many local ordinances make wildlife feeding punishable
by fines and requirements to install wildlife-proof
garbage containers.

Coyote-Proof ContainersUse garbage cans that have a locking mechanism
on the lid. Use a rope or elastic cord to secure the
can to a fence or other solid object so that it cannot
be tipped over. A variety of products are available
to keep wildlife away from human food sources.Click here for
